‘Good People Always Crackney in Heaven’
Fullers Bookshop
‘We die we go to heaven, good people always crackney in heaven.’ – Druemerterpunner/ Alexander (Big River people) Wybalenna, Flinders Island, 21 April, 1938
‘Crackney’ means to ‘sit down’. Druemerterpunner lived through the first generation of colonial disruption in lutruwita/ Tasmania.
He expresses the interplay of his language with the colonists’ English and the different mythologies continue to shape how we speak of the past and imagine our future.
